Which came first the chicken or the egg is an interesting question that is full of scientific difficulties.   How could the chicken come first without being an egg and how could the egg survive without the chicken, where did its information come from to make the egg and to determine it was a chicken etc.

With the advance of scientific knowledge (not evolutionary theory but real science), we have developed a whole new field of science dealing with the interdependence of environmental systems.   When one species disappears it can affect many others.   However if the world has no life and life begins would the world be able to sustain that life?    According to our own current knowledge the answer would be a resounding no.   There is an incredible amount of interdependency for our world to exist.

For instance, there are many theories as to how the moon first appeared.   Each theory has its own set of problems but the fact is life would not exist on our planet unless the moon did exist and in its relatively current position.    The moon is responsible for a number of things not the least of which is the steady axis of the earth.   Without a steady axis we would not have consistent seasons.  Half the planet could burn up while the other half became a solid block of ice, a vastly greater difference then we have today as winter could remain for years, etc.

What other systems do we have to have in place for life to exist: fresh water, suitable atmosphere, ozone layer, magnetic fields, suitable distance to sun and moon, soil.   How easy is this to duplicate?    Man has attempted to create his own biosphere with terrible results as it is complex and difficult.   Someone who studies in this field would recognize that a single life that started on this planet would die before any other life could occur.   Life starting is not improbable but impossible – it would require a supernatural act for this to occur.

Supernatural is what the creation account deals with.   God made all the interacting systems in six days.    These systems work together in a manner to sustain life.   This is a unique event in our universe.   He made it for you and me.     He also made it temporary.    The physical world will eventually end.   That a definite endpoint exists is what science teaches us too.    Knowing that is the case and that it requires a supernatural beginning, what manner of person ought you to be before your Creator?
